I got my first gaming computer from a hand me down and its a little more budget friendly than i prefer so i was thinking of upgrading but it has an MSI B150M Bazooka motherboard so i'm slightly limited on processors that i can buy. The compatible CPUs listed are basically any 6th gen processor. So i was wondering if a 6th gen i7 6700 will be able to run something like COD: Warzone smoothly, while discord runs in background, without freezing every few seconds like i currently get now.
Currently have an i5-6402P @ 2.80 GHz
and a Radeon RX 480 graphics card
I'm open to any ideas, as im fairly new to desktop gaming but just not sure what would be more beneficial. Just assumed it was the CPU as multitasking becomes almost impossible while playing more demanding games.
